      I would like to ask the room, but especially @Flyinghead , as the author and maintainer , why are we using underscore for the locales? I've found that the "standard" seems to be to use a dash.

      es_ES -> es-ES.

      Should we change it?

      EDIT:

      It's settled. Linux uses underscore. We are fine then :)

        @wakaya @hiulit Thank you for the advice, I'll look into it until next weekend, when I will have the time.

        Which standard? Linux for example uses the underscore for its locales.

          @Clyde You are welcome! I'll try to update de README with instructions on how to translate.

          About the locale "issue", it's settled then! If Linux uses underscore, that's it. :)

                @hiulit Some people are collaborating with the translation. So I do not know if all the mistakes are mine. Spanish is from Spain. But you can fix it without problems. I don't know much use github, can you change the location to es_ES? Thank you

                    @heloisa Ok, then I'll take a better look at the Spanish translations and I'll add the es_ES;)

                                    @itskryode Each one made the translation of the language that has knowledge. You can translate to the language you know. I translated to Portuguese and Spanish.

                                    Already complete (Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese and Catalan). Tks :)

                                          Me again. I tried to fork a German lang file, but seem to have created a commit/proposal in the original repo instead. Could someone please give me a push in the right direction? See here:

                                            Okay, my first version is ready in my own repo. How do I make a pull request from it into @Flyinghead's repo?
